When you care about someone

Tweet

... you want to believe the best about him/her. True nga. And the tendency is? When you get disappointed because the person you care about turns out to be the biggest liar in the world, you just want to believe all his or her lies nalang to ease the pain you're feeling. You want to believe him or her instead of throwing every stinking thing he or she made you believe back at his or her face.. But sometimes, you can't make yourself believe.. Someone sent me a nice quote this morning. It read: "Ignoring the facts won't change the facts." Boo-hoo.. You're probably in a state of denial if you force yourself to believe that person's lies and ignore the unfairness of how he or she is treating you... I am. I just want to share some of my misery.. You can roll your eyes if you want.. But to those who can give me some advice, I'd welcome them.. I happen to have a blockmate in college who became dear to me the first time we actually conversed. There's this one cold, rainy day when we accidentally bumped into each other in school - he then started asking about assignments. I was such in a good mood that early morning that I let him copy my P.E. assignment. Then, we talked about a lot of things... I was surprised when he told me a lot of personal infos about himself and felt really pleased when I heard the enthusiasm in his voice. We walked around campus like we never cared about anything except talking (I guess that's just me wishing). I thought it'd be the start of a good friendship (that's me again wishing!) but later in the afternoon, he just ignored me. I just let it pass by because there might be an explanaition. But then, in the later days... he never really seemed to show some recognition.. (I mean we're blockmates, right? We get to see each other in every subjects, right? So what's this?) I don't know why it bothered me so much. Well, let's consider the fact that I liked him from day one because... I liked his smile? Ok, scratch that. That was only an admiration.. I liked him even more when he spoke to me.. He seemed really sincere and all.. (me wishing? again?)... ö And why why why do I still care about him? Care about what he thinks? And the fact that he told a few of my blockmates some negative impressions about me and that he never really liked me at all, why does THAT even bother me when I've only talked to him for A DAY? I never really got these questions answered.. Because I'm stupid, I still kept on thinking so well of him despite the way he treated me. I wanted to believe that he's a really good guy when he's your friend. I never talked trash about him.. I even defended him when some of my friends talked so negatively about him.. but why?? I keep on ignoring the fact that this person isn't exactly my ideal friend.. I keep on ignoring the fact that this person doesn't want to be friends with me.. I want to believe that everything's just a coincidence, him being rude and dedma sa ako. But I'm not really believing any of that crap, am I? I wish I never bumped into you that day. I wish I never cared! But then I wish you'd prove my friends wrong about you.. I wish you'd just talk to me again so everything will be damn fine! ö Sigh.. Help!
